“…Endovascular treatment options include coil embolisation, ultrasound-guided thrombin injection or stent insertion. 7,8 Surgical management involves proximal and distal arterial control, haematoma evacuation (important if the pseudoaneurysm is associated with pressure effects) and arterial defect repair using direct closure, vein patching or interposition graft.…”

A 65-year-old man presented with a 6-week history of worsening right anterior ankle swelling following an ankle arthrodesis. Examination revealed a warm pulsatile 8 cm swelling on the dorsum of the foot. Ultrasound doppler and computed tomography angiography revealed an 8 cm pseudoaneurysm arising from the anterior tibial artery. Fluoroscopic-guided embolisation successfully treated the pseudoaneurysm. Pseudoaneurysms following foot and ankle surgery are a rare but documented complication. Treatment options include conservative management, endovascular interventions or surgical correction. This case highlights that awareness of blood supply variations in the foot and ankle is essential.
